NIGHT FLIGHT (8) broke from this box and finished in the placings when a 7 length second in fast time (26.35) in a Class 2/3 at this track. Meets a much easier field today with the drop in class. Will be very hard to beat in this field. LET'S GO BARBIE (2) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 6 lengths away in third (26.31) at Manawatu in a Class 1 over 457m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from nine starts. Hard to beat again. GO SKY (5) better known over a longer distance but is capable over this trip. Must be included in calculations. Something for the Multiples: KOOKABURRA BOB (4)
